DOTA 2
News
The Khanda was a new item added in Dota 2’s Frostivus update, and luckily Valve has fixed one of the biggest bugs with the item.
We’re less than a week out from the release of Frostivus and while the reception to Dota 2’s winter patch may be mixed, the amount of gameplay changes were still large. But while the community complains, Valve has been hard at work making Dota just a little bit more playable. And one major target of fixes was new item Khanda.
Khanda, in theory, is a situational Dota 2 item, used as a final feather in the cap of a fully stacked carry. But, in practice, it has become a kind of meme item that people buy in 90-minute games to pair with five rapiers and make Dota into whack-a-mole with heroes.
Still, one unintended issue that arose was it having a separate cooldown to its component item, Phylactery. This was kind of a rare use case, but it meant that a Phylactery and a Khanda could use the Empower Spell ability. Essentially, there were likely Lion’s out there just deleting three people in a fight.
Still Valve has now handled this bug, and Khanda, and whole load of other Dota 2 bug fixes have been implemented. Here’s an exhaustive list, as per thepatch notes:
